In :
In humans serotonin is a chemical known as neurotransmitter that transmit signal from one nerve cell to another. It is responsible for less than 1% of communications, which is a small proportion when compared to other neurotransmitters such as glutamate (over 50% of all communications in the brain rely on glutamate). However, serotonin has been found to regulate some behaviors, such as hunger, fear, aggression or mood. There have been several drugs produced that regulate serotonin levels in the brain and are widely prescribed by physicians to treat mood disorders (e.g. Depression). I do not believe that there are vitamins that could increase serotonin level in the brain. However, some foods have been reported to increase or decrease serotonin levels in the brain. For example, foods that are rich in serotonin precursor tryptophan (a chemical that the body uses to produce serotonin) such as dates, papayas and bananas tend to increase serotonin and foods that are poor in tryptophan such as whole wheat and rye bread, tend to decrease it. If the obsessive thoughts that you described are interfering with your life, the best course of action would be to talk about this with a psychiatrist who, after a thorough evaluation, might recommend one of the medications that could affect brain serotonin levels and help with the symptoms.

Stress affects most people in some way. Acute (sudden, short-term) stress leads to rapid changes throughout the body. Almost all body systems (the heart and blood vessels, immune system, lungs, digestive system, sensory organs, and brain) gear up to meet perceived danger. These stress responses could prove beneficial in a critical, life-or-death situation. Over time, however, repeated stressful situations put a strain on the body that may contribute to physical and psychological problems. Chronic (long-term) stress can have real health consequences and should be addressed like any other health concern. Fortunately, research is showing that lifestyle changes and stress-reduction techniques can help people learn to manage their stress.

Work w/psychiatrist:
First and foremost, i recommend working with your psychiatrist on this so that both of you are on the same page. If you're not getting enough relief from your current regimen, adjustments and/or additions can be made. Regarding supplements -- one study showed that more people with ocd responded to inositol to 18 g/day, than to placebo. Be aware it can cause flatus and nausea though.

The most effective ways to calm high anxiety and stress ARE natural...

A full b complex:
Use a full b supplement that is 100mg of all b's and at least 400mcg of folic acid. Add an additional B12 500-1000mcg if really stressed. Do not use the five hour energy drinks since they are addictive and can leave people feeling edgy.

Many:
Many vitamins are used up more quickly in chronic stress. You might consider replacing b vitamins like b6, thiamine, b12, and folate (folic acid). Also vitamin c, and magnesium. Make sure you don't rely only on pills, though -- eat a healthy diet with lots of veggies, fruits, lean proteins, and healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, and omega-3's like wild salmon, walnuts, ground flax seed, etc.

Kava -- might relax you w/o the feelings of sedation, but in some studies was linked to liver problems. If you have liver problems, don't take it w/o discussing with your doctor first. Vit. B and Folic Acid are believed to affect production of neurotransmitters and thus help with anxiety. Valerian -- helps with sleep and is believed to help with anxiety. Practice relaxation, healthy nutrition.

Nothing magic:
Emotional stress can be helped by a well balanced diet where you are getting all of your nutritional needs met. In times of high stress it is particularly important (and sometimes particularly difficult) to eat healtfully and stay balanced. Excerise in general and yoga in particular is helpful. Psychotherapy is helpful and can offer a lifetime of support. Good luck and best wishes.

Absolutelynot:
The majority of studies show no. Enefits from taking multivitamins unless you are deficient! in which case you should first turn to food sources to address the deficiency. Don't buy into the hype about the value of these pills. There is little to no value, and potential harm in taking them. You definitely don't need them at your age and you are probably duplicating between the products you alread.
